Sorry to join in late but I find this whole thing fascinating. Expoland to me has always seemed like a very paradoxical park. They seem to cut corners in many respects but not in others. All of their rides are painted white with some park being an off pink tint, but yeah they splurged for a large B&M invert with a rather ornate station. They seemed very committed to safety to me initially, you can see this when you take a look at the chairlift and see that it has netting underneath it and a small catwalk, which to me seems like overkill. What fascinates me is that they didn't replace the axels on the trains in over 15 years. The only dumber thing I have seen was Galaxyland's complete and utter failure to even try to run Mindbender safely, but that is in it's own league as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully other parks can learn a lesson from this about inspections. Togo has to my understanding NEVER had any problems with rides crashing or breaking like some companies do. Intamin is notorious for having ride technology problems. I'm not referring to their rides chucking fat people, I view that as the rider's fault, but I'm referring to instances where brakes have failed like on the American Eagle, and I think one of the Superman rides has had this problem. Togo's to my knowledge has NEVER had this issue, even in park chains that are notorious for "poorly" maintaining rides. Honestly if I ran a park I would never buy rides from Intamin because their is no excuse for having several of their rides require extra supports to added onto the structure and the like. Also brake failure is completely INEXCUSABLE. Brakes are a very necessary part of a ride. That is poor design and there is no excuse for that. Although some may find their rides rough, Togo coasters are VERY well built compared to many other companies and do not have problems with constant valleying, overshooting the brakes, being under-supported, etc. Togo deserves credit for making a well built solid ride, not to be bashed for making rough rides. Stop being wusses people. The entire Asian continent can put up the company, and I assure you there are companies with much worse trackwork out there like Hoei and the Thrust Air models from S&S. I can't even imagine how bad the ignorant ripoff Chinese companies could be. You have to give the company credit for being ballsy and really experimenting with heartlining when the idea came around. yes they failed in quite a few instances, but someone has to fail for people to learn mistakes from them. I've sure other companies have seen what Togo did wrong and took a different approach that worked better. Progress doesn't happen unless someone screws up something. You have to give them credit for being adventurous and ballsy. Also, if you Youtube "Expoland" and click on videos from Japanese news casts, when they zoom in on the train from new angles you can see that the wheel assembly is gone on the tipped train and that the headrest is ripped up and bent with brownish stains in it, probably dried blood from that woman. The catwalk also has blood stains on it if you find early pictures I don't want to post this as it's rather graphic and probably violates the TOS, so it's up to any curious people to find this if they want. Just my two cents.

You're just jealous you don't have the power of the ring Calaway.

Here is my Space Diver (supports incomplete). It wins on it's sheer awesomeness. http://www.nolimitsdevcenter.net/i26742

Thank you you look sexy too.

Hello, I decided to make a large B&M sitdown coaster because I just did. This coaster is 181ft tall and it also features 9 inversions: Loop Dive Loop Dive Loop Cobra Roll Zero G Roll Inclined Loop Corkscrew Corkscrew Screenies: http://www.nolimitsdevcenter.net/p2165 *I think I have too many supports on my first drop, and the water has been changed to deep sea so it won't look like a a hernia. I still need to add all of the litte details like a queue, exit, perhaps a 3ds station attempt, loop connectors, trees, and the chain thingy. Should be uploaded on Sunday if time permits.

That was a slap in the face and a stomp on the crotch.

I think he got you there.

I can't upload. The FTP site claims it does not exist.
